Severn 24 Hour Booking Records
Severn is part of Anne Arundel County, and all 24 hour booking activity for this area goes through the county's detention facilities. Anne Arundel runs two main facilities for intake and housing. The county also has an online inmate locator, which makes searching for Severn booking records easier than in many other Maryland jurisdictions. You can look up custody status, court dates, and bail information through the county website. This page covers how to use these tools and what to expect if someone is booked after a Severn arrest.
Where Severn Bookings Are Processed
Severn falls in the Western District of the Anne Arundel County Police Department. The district station is at 8273 Telegraph Road, Odenton, MD 21113, phone (410) 222-6150. When an arrest happens in Severn, the person is taken to one of the county's detention facilities for 24 hour booking and intake.
The main intake facility is the Jennifer Road Detention Center at 131 Jennifer Road, Annapolis, MD 21401. This is the maximum security facility and the primary booking location. Phone is (410) 222-7374. The second facility is the Ordnance Road Correctional Center at 600 East Ordnance Road, Glen Burnie, MD 21060, phone (410) 222-6350. Ordnance Road holds male inmates who are sentenced or pretrial. Which facility a person ends up in depends on the charges and classification.
Under Maryland Rule 4-212(f), every person arrested in Severn must appear before a District Court Commissioner within 24 hours. The commissioner advises them of the charges and decides bail under Maryland Rule 4-216.
Search Severn 24 Hour Booking Online
Anne Arundel County has an online inmate locator on its website. This is one of the better county-level tools in Maryland. You can search by first name, last name, or Jail ID number. The results show which facility the person is housed in, future court dates, and bail or bond information.
There is one important catch. The search requires an exact match on names. If you type "Jon" instead of "John," you will get no results. Spell the name exactly as it appears on the person's legal ID. The system does not show mugshots. It focuses on custody and court data.
VINELink also covers Anne Arundel County and lets you track custody changes for anyone booked after a Severn arrest. Sign up for free alerts by email, text, or phone. The Maryland Judiciary Case Search adds court record details including charges, dispositions, and sentencing information.
Note: The Anne Arundel inmate locator updates regularly but may have a short delay after initial booking.

State-Level Tools for Severn Searches
The DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator searches across state prison facilities. It will not show someone in the Anne Arundel County facilities. County jails are a separate system. But if someone from Severn was sentenced to more than 18 months, they transfer to state custody and will appear in this tool. Search by name or first letter of the name.
Between the county inmate locator, VINELink, the DPSCS tool, and the Judiciary Case Search, you have coverage at every level. Start with the county locator for recent Severn bookings. Move to VINELink if that does not work. Use the state tools for older cases or longer sentences.
Clearing a Severn Booking Record
Under Criminal Procedure Section 10-103, arrests that did not lead to charges get automatic expungement within 60 days if the arrest happened after October 1, 2007. For dismissals and acquittals, Section 10-105 allows immediate expungement filing. Probation before judgment has a three-year wait.
The Maryland Courts expungement page has forms and step-by-step instructions. The Second Chance Act offers shielding for certain misdemeanor convictions. Shielded records are hidden from public view but remain accessible to law enforcement. It is a one-time option per person.
